ITALIAN FLUENCY is a unique vocabulary companion for language students who want a new approach in expanding vocabulary and fluency of the world's most beautiful language.
The first portion of ITALIAN FLUENCY provides the learner with an insight to language acquisition by way of the four modalities: reading, writing, listening and speaking. The book provides manifold ideas for increasing fluency through various websites, music, internet, technology, and media.
The second portion of the book explores thousands of twin words (such as "interessante" and "interesting") that exist between Italian and English. These words, by virtue of their similarity, make picking up the language exponentially easier.

The third portion of the book explores the thousand or so words that are essential for fluent speech, through a variety of proverbs, humorous quotes, laugh-out-loud zingers and vocabulary-rich sentences.
ITALIAN FLUENCY is written in a contemporary, easy reading style with an emphasis on humor. This is not your boring grammar book! Whether beginner or advanced, this book is your shortcut to the Italian language and will improve your Italian by a quantum leap!
